ID Catfish

[herman moorr]

To me almost looks like a type of Stone cat aka madtom. But I'm really not sure about this one. How big is this fish?

Hemibagrus guttatus?

It's a Hemibagrus for sure and IMHO only Silurus will tell for sure which species.

Looks like a Hemibagrus to me and not a common species. I'd not dare to propose a species. Post on Planet Catfish for a definitive ID from Silurus aka Dr. Heok Hee Ng who revised the genus recently.

Or I can post there if you'd like to go this route.

Ok could you post it there for me? Thanks a lot!

Keep in mind that Dr. Heok Hee Ng has just semi-retired from the Planet Catfish forum: https://www.planetcatfish.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=44883 so IDK if/when he can get to it.

Dr. Ng confirmed Jools' ID of this fish as Hemibagrus macropterus. (You can click on the name - it's a link).
